Can make record, to only record mouse movements and clicks

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 15

Hi all,

 

i use many different browsers to do repetitive tasks. Actually they are the same task in different browsers.
I tried to use record but it does not work so well with all these exotic different browsers.

 

The next best solution i can think of -and this is my question, is it possible to make record not to track the browsers and only track mouse moves , clicks and keyboard?

 

Thank you for your time reading this.

Regards,

Nik.

    You can use the below action to make a move to specific text.

    Then you can send mouse click

    You can also play with below keyboard and mouse actions as required

    In web automation, browser instances such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox are necessary. If you need to automate tasks that involve interacting with browsers, you can definitely try this move mouse and click mouse actions but tools like Selenium WebDriver with Python or JavaScript are popular choices. They offer reliable interaction with browsers across different platforms.

    Thank you for your answer which is quite good but i have different browsers open at the same time and i have to do the same repetitive tasks in each of them. Setting everything up manually is possible. I tried it but it took me too much time. I get additional tasks quite often so setting them up manually needs too much work. Work which would be not needed if i could locate a program which could track mouse movements clicks and keyboards . Power automate is so cool and it provides many commands and versatility but for me is not useful since it cannot record the mouse ignoring the browsers.
    I will check the selenium option you mentioned.

    Thank you for your time answering my question.

    Regards,

    Nik.
